These two chairs are very unique and stately without being stuffy. I bought them and came straight home to get to work. I pulled out about ten different material options and draped each one over the frame. The chairs are a beautiful solid wood with fine curves and lines. My feeling is that these are a high quality mid century design (Danish maybe?), but I forgot to ask the dealer when I bought them. My initial thought was to paint them black. But when I took off the seat to reupholster it, the gorgeous structure was begging to be spotlighted in a softer, lighter color. To really flaunt those swerves and curves. So I hauled grays, blues and yellows up from the garage to pair with fabrics. I could not shake off wanting to use this one particular fabric no matter which others I held up to it. Gotta go with the gut.

Gray and beige tones with gentle hints of brownish black on oversized leopard spots are a perfect contrast yet complement to the exquisite lines of the chairs. The paint was a last minute grab on a completely unrelated shopping trip. My sales person opened it for me to peek at, and I thought it was pretty though I had no idea when or on what it would be used. Well well well, as I scanned tubs and gallons, I caught sight of it and popped it open next to the fabric. Exact match. Unbelievable. And just what this chair was hoping for, light and smooth to show off those lovely curves and lines.

These photos were taken outside the store because I forgot to take them before I brought them there. On the one where the chair is in front of the rock, look closely at the side view of the bow of the two back slats. Deliciousness.

I think the pattern is neither too feminine nor masculine for the style of these two chairs. I can picture these in a sitting room, fireside, dining room, with a side table in between, in a bedroom, foyer....so many possibilities. By the way, the fabric is pre-scotchguarded. Two available to grace your space.

Even though the paint I used is called Kings Canyon, this desk is perfect for a queen. Doesn't this desk just make you want to sit and write out bills? Or actually jump into homework? I knew the two-toned effect would show off the curves of this fine piece, but I was so crazy about the hardware that I had to highlight that as well. I used a gray chalk paint on the stately frame and a soft beige on the serpentine style drawers. The lattice wing hardware was done in a delicate aqua. The drawers and pulls are dark waxed for a cast of rustic character and the whole desk is lightly distressed. This set would also be a lovely vanity for a lovely lady.

The mahogany chair I reupholstered in coordinating material blends the set together.These two pieces were not a set originally. I purchased them separately and then introduced them to one another. They became best friends and wanted to match outfits. All three tones and shades on both pieces hold hands and play nicely together.

I had to set up indoors because I had no one to help me carry it outside and rain is in the forecast for the next several days. I didn't want to make you wait that long. Therefore, please pardon the photo-bombers in my entryway. But by the way..., isn't this a great spot for the desk?!

If I can, I will stage it outside for better lighting and privacy. If not, these actually came out pretty true to life other than being a tad shadowed in some shots.

This one tested me. From the design and color agony to the paint fail then recovery to the rain almost destroying it. Twice. I wanted to work outside so badly and there was no rain in the forecast so I dragged it out. All was fine until sprinkle squalls started. Then I was like Hercules hoisting that big dresser into the garage and shot-putting the drawers back into place before an ultimate disaster. Burn me once, shame on the weatherman. Burn me twice, I have no one else to blame but myself, so shame on me. To the weatherman's defense it is glorious New England. And to my defense, I wanted to enjoy the sun that decided to call it quits in the middle of my work. Twice. All is well though, and it was worth the chaos.

This is an antique five drawer tall chest painted in sea green milk paint then clear wax coated. I applied a final dark wax coat over the raised stencil, hardware and entire body which enriches the milk paint's characteristic patina. The depth and richness of the teal is actually a bit darker toned than the photos show. It is a beauty standing tall and poised. Available to grace any area of your home with its elegant presence.

Here is the cabinet that has been flashing you. It couldn't wait to show itself in full. This cabinet is solid and boasts great storage space. I stained the top and shelving inside a rich brown and sealed with polyurethane. The main body is a custom mixed blue chalk paint with taupe chalk paint accents and inside the doors. The original hardware is painted in a deep red which is gorgeous with the blue and taupe. The whole piece is lightly distressed and clear and dark waxed. Available to grace your home in any area. I was thinking kitchen, dining room, playroom, family room, bathroom, anywhere really.
